Student Visionaries of the Year Westchester/Fairfield
Peyton Ochman | Wave Goodbye to Blood Cancer
Peyton's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibility.
They challenge the status quo—and make the impossible possible.
They boldly imagine a better world – and lead the charge to create it.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers.
I am a visionary; I have a vision for a world without cancer, but I need your help.
This year, I’m proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission.
As a global leader in the fight against blood cancer, LLS:
- Funds cutting-edge research leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine that are improving and saving the lives of patients
- Provides free education and support for blood cancer patients and families, including personalized, one-on-one support, assistance with identifying and enrolling in clinical trials, and more.
- Mobilizes thousands of advocates to drive policy changes that accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and break down barriers to care.
I’ve had people in my life pass away from cancer and know many people dealing with it as I write
this, some have been blood cancer and others have had or have different types of cancer but my
Grandma passed away from cancer before I was born and I was never able to meet her and all I hear about on holiday is her. As we sit and eat the recipes we still make to this day that were hers, I wish there had been a cure to meet her just once, and now I have this opportunity to raise money for research and make a difference for the people around me and future generations.
Please consider joining this fight by making a donation. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!
Thanks to your support, my efforts will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

As a board member I am so happy that you made the effort to be a student visionary of the year. I am donating to encourage to continue your efforts to raise money for such an important cause. I was touched by your story about your grandmother. My daughter was diagnosed with ALL at your age so this is an important fight for me. Good luck.
